Out we go...

First stop was....

Sainsburys↓

We got a self-service scanner.

However the price of the binders was £2.50 on the scanner, funny it was £1.50 on the shelf.

One man Sale Assistant in a suit says, it will correct itself at the till....

Yeah right!

Goes to the till, and we were charged £2.50!

Then the voucher for the i got stuck in the coupon slot.

On goes the red light...

That was sorted.

After paying for the things,

I went to the customer service desk,

And got a £3 refund!

Now off to see my mum and dad.

I gave them the some new flowers.

Then off for a coffee....

It was nice to sit outside...

Then the wind got up and it was freezing cold...

Back inside we go...

Afterwards we go and look around the reduced plant stand.

We goes inside to pay for them, when suddenly on the sound system comes:

We walked back outside until it finished.

The Sales Assistant on the till says:

"Music effects people in different ways"

Back home with the flowers!

As we got some nice wind...

Out comes the lollipop coats to dry on the line.

The man on the fence was being kept busy in the wind...

Roy  Orbison was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic, earning him the nicknames "the Caruso of Rock" and "the Big O". Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project defiant masculinity. He was known for his shyness and stage fright, which he countered by wearing dark sunglasses.

He would have been 85 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 52 in 1988.
